He came by Keith D AllisonPromising to fill
the lonely chair within the room
with a morning light
a figure crouched in the corner
the room empty
nothing given, only touched
her body shivered
in the nakedness
the tear mourned in the existence 03/06/2008 Posted on 03/06/2008 Copyright © 2024 Keith D Allison

Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 03/06/08 at 02:33 PM A sparse and haunting poem of disappointed hope and perhaps disillusionment. Striking use of symbolism. |
Posted by Gregory O'Neill on 03/07/08 at 01:58 AM Stark and sad....aware of the humanity of itself. This runs deeper than first impressions might imply....good poetry does that! Thanks. |
